				<p>This exhibition brings together 34 powerful American and European works, all created since the 1950s, that explore the biological, psychological or spiritual volatility of the human figure. The works--by such powerhouse artists as Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, Willem de Kooning, Alice Neel, Philip Guston, Eric Fischl, Jenny Saville and Julian Schnabel--employ a wide range of painterly effects to suggest the carnal properties of human flesh, as well as its metaphorical significance.

				<div>All day event</div>
				<p>With its stark simplicity and strong form, the art of the Inuit people of Canada is sought by collectors all over the world. Acting as a record of the "old ways," Inuit sculptures and prints often depict Arctic animals or activities such as seal hunting and fishing which were once critical to survival. While ivory and stone carvings have been traded with Europeans for centuries, prints have been a major source of livelihood only since the mid-20th century, when the Inuit began resettling in government communities. This exhibition of 11 prints and 15 sculptures from the Gallery's collection is offered in conjunction with the opening of the new <span style="font-style: italic;">Traditions and Encounters</span> gallery.<br><br>Pictured: Kenojuak Ashevak, <span style="font-style: italic;">Raven Silhouette II </span>(1998).

				<div>Memorial Art Gallery</div>
				<div>Friday, December 4, 2009</div>
				<div>All day event</div>
				<p>This exhibition brings together 34 powerful American and European works, all created since the 1950s, that explore the biological, psychological or spiritual volatility of the human figure. The works--by such powerhouse artists as Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, Lucian Freud, Willem de Kooning, Alice Neel, Philip Guston, Eric Fischl, Jenny Saville and Julian Schnabel--employ a wide range of painterly effects to suggest the carnal properties of human flesh, as well as its metaphorical significance. MAG is one of only two tour stops for this show.<br><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">This exhibition has been organized by the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, Nashville, TN. It is supported by an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities. In Rochester, it is made possible by Victoria and William Cherry, with additional support from the George D. and Freida B. Abraham Foundation, the Herdle-Moore Fund and an anonymous donor.</span><br><br>Pictured: Jenny Saville, Hyphen (1999). Private collection, Courtesy of Gagosian Gallery. <br></p>			]]>

				<div>All day event</div>
				<p>With its stark simplicity and strong form, the art of the Inuit people of Canada is sought by collectors all over the world. Acting as a record of the "old ways," Inuit sculptures and prints often depict Arctic animals or activities such as seal hunting and fishing which were once critical to survival. While ivory and stone carvings have been traded with Europeans for centuries, prints have been a major source of livelihood only since the mid-20th century, when the Inuit began resettling in government communities. This exhibition of 11 prints and 15 sculptures from the Gallery's collection is offered in conjunction with the opening of the new <span style="font-style: italic;">Traditions and Encounters</span> gallery.<br><br>Pictured: Kenojuak Ashevak, <span style="font-style: italic;">Raven Silhouette II </span>(1998).
